Colorado Analysts Predict Mitt Romney Landslide
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, August 23, 2012, 8:35 PM
University of Colorado Boulder analysts predict a Romney landslide in this year’s election.
The University of Colorado Boulder reported:
A University of Colorado analysis of state-by-state factors leading to the Electoral College selection of every U.S. president since 1980 forecasts that the 2012 winner will be Mitt Romney.
The key is the economy, say political science professors Kenneth Bickers of CU-Boulder and Michael Berry of CU Denver. Their prediction model stresses economic data from the 50 states and the District of Columbia, including both state and national unemployment figures as well as changes in real per capita income, among other factors.
“Based on our forecasting model, it becomes clear that the president is in electoral trouble,” said Bickers, also director of the CU in DC Internship Program.
According to their analysis, President Barack Obama will win 218 votes in the Electoral College, short of the 270 he needs. And though they chiefly focus on the Electoral College, the political scientists predict Romney will win 52.9 percent of the popular vote to Obama’s 47.1 percent, when considering only the two major political parties.
“For the last eight presidential elections, this model has correctly predicted the winner,” said Berry.

Models are one indicator. .so are polls. . but one need just look around. .the SILENT MAJORITY, the ones who work, pay taxes and obey the law while raising family and living American Values have awaken and have had enough. . .
A landslide is coming. . .
And Romney is being the presidential statesman the Obama, bless his heart, tries to be but seems to get caught up in street talk

In American History, 15 Presidents have been re-elected to a second term.
Each time, EACH and EVERY time, the re-elected President won by a LARGER! margin than he won his first election.
it is true for FDR, his victory over Landon in 1936 was far greater than over Hoover in 1932.
(forget 3 and 4, those are anomalies in every way- this is about the first referendum)
it is true for Cleveland, who lost re-election in 1888 despite winning the popular vote (what! did that happen?) but came back to win in 1892 with a larger electoral margin than he did in 1884.
It is true for W. there was no recount in 2004, and the electoral margin was larger.
It is true even for Washington who won twice on electoral shutouts- but he got more electoral votes in 1792 because there were more electoral votes to get- something like 72 over 59.
NOW! is there anyone, ANYONE! who wants to buck history? Is there any sane person who wants to argue that Zero will get MORE! electoral votes this time around?

Welcome news, but from one moment to the next it seems things change. Just a month ago Romney was down.
I hope that this report is true. I have said Romney is going to win in a landslide, even before Ryan. Now, that Romney has made on of the most intelligent and thoughtful choice in Ryan, Americans see that Romney is the real deal.
They are also poll Ryan vs. Biden and 49% to 39% in favor of Ryan. Also, the youth are elated with the pick.
Patty commented:
It was visual for America in 08. Seriously, if Obama didn’t have a mirror what would the boy do.
Now, imagine the above picture and the Biden and Obama beside it.
It voters vote for the most handsome of the two. Hands down R/R would win. Of course, this election in no way is about good looks but you know there are those who based their vote on it.
As I see it, no one research Obama, he is a political junkie, and empty suit with a TelePrompter to boot.
He spoke of a new America and Transparency, boy did the Obama voters get s__ed.
And those who didn’t, did too.
NCBob commented:
Don’t bet on it. We’ve got to make phone calls and knock on doors like we’re 25 points behind!
Militant Catholic commented:
The landslide will be useless if Akin wipes out the Senate win. Additionally, the win will be useless if R/R don’t come up with an IMMEDIATE plan to:
massively cut spending
make every single government agency and program see cuts, with many to be eliminated
start drilling for oil in America
free up nuclear plant permits
pull out troops out of Afghanistan and put them on the Mexican border
enact massive tax cuts
enact massive federal regulation cuts and remove many of them
begin introducing legislation or use Executive Order to lessen the number of abortions in this country

Mitt Romney and GOP hardest hit.
Patty commented:
There have been some comments made by Obama’s VP. Had any Republican made such a comment their head would be on a platter. The things leaders say and the F word and chain comment is far worse than what I have heard from Republicans.

RUSH: The Obama campaign’s race-card gambit
{…………}
The reason Camp Obama will continue to foment racial discord is, quite simply, the reason it has done so since 2008. The radical elements with whom President Obama was politically aligned before seeking the presidency were aware of the latitude they likely would enjoy were Mr. Obama to become president. This included black nationalist factions such as the New Black Panther Party, with whom he demonstrated in 2007, as well as the Nation of Islam. Their activities since Mr. Obama was inaugurated bear witness to this fact.
The significance of Mr. Obama keeping such bedfellows cannot be understated. This differs from the case of Mr. Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who is merely an America-damning racist. It has been documented that the Weather Underground, which Mr. Obama’s comrade William Ayers helped found, once advocated killing off 25 million Americans in order to make its point to the remaining 200 million. Outfits like the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) literally view whites and Jews as manifestly evil, if not subhuman, and the NBPP is calling for armed insurrection and the genocide of whites right now.
{………..}
Whether this methodology is intended by the administration to bring about wholesale civil unrest (as some suggest) or simply to increase the likelihood of Mr. Obama’s re-election remains to be seen. Suffice it to say that the strategy is substantially more refined than turning Mr. Biden loose every few weeks.

All their data says Romney/Ryan but I wonder if they have taken into account the huge amount of fraud that will be used to assure Obama gets in office again to finish off the country?

We have the most Reagan like candidate since Reagan (Romney) and the most authentic, true blue small town boy who loves to “cling to his guns and religion” in flyover country USA —–
I don’t care how much the Dems cheat …..they have no idea that behind every blade of grass in small town America is a voter just waiting to elect Reform and Restore……
My own small personal sampling of a couple hundred family members (I have a huge family) friends and neighbors over this summer has shocked me – almost 100% for ABO (Anything but Obama)……and a few on the fence who I am working on in my own persuasive ways :- )
A landslide like nothing we have ever seen unless Obama puts us into a war with Iran and even then……even then folks. Stick a fork in Obama – he is done!

We’ve done just about all we can to make sure any fraud will be caught. If any of you live where you think this could happen, I suggest you start putting a plan together and see that it’s implemented ASAP. Don’t wait until after the election and then complain.
